landing from us. question re: own car

[dodan]

hello guys
I am planning to complete the processing of landing soon as the visa will expire in few days. I am not able to decide to move permanently now as I am yet to secure a job.

My question is: I will be driving my own car. I might list it as goods to follow. I will inform the officer the same. Do I need to have export/import documents at this ladning? Or it is required when I will be moving permanently?

Any other suggestions for US-to-Canada landing procedure?

Thanks.

Hi,

If you are including your vehicle in the B4 form, the car could be legally cleared through customs when you are moving later to Canada permanently. That time you need all the required documents in order to get it registered in Canada for future use. While getting the goods to follow list stamped at the port of entry you may discuss about your plan about the car with the CBSA officer and he /she will explain you the formalities.

Hi, we plan to land via Peace bridge use our own car, but will not import our car this time because we will only stay in Canada for 5 days and will come back to the US. I will list the car as goods to follow. Is that any issues for me to drive my own car without importing during the landing? I have did some research and most people saying i will have trouble and suggest using a rental car. Anyone land to Canada by own car recently? Any problems?

Thanks in advance for your help!

If438701,

I did my landing from peace bridge using a rental car last year. If you have all original title papers and insurance and if you tell the officers that you will take the car back to the US, I think it should be fine. Better not to take any chances for the sake of a few hundred dollars. It may worthwhile to rent a car for 5 days.
